This thesis presents a mathematical model and an autopilot of a new type Unmanned AerialRobot(UAR)namedX5withafocusonVerticalTake-offandLanding(VTOL) systems. Physically,itconsistsofalargepropellertocarrythemainpayload,andfour small propellers for controlling the attitude. It presents a nonlinear 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) model of X5 based on Newton-Euler method for simulation and control. The mathematical model introduced in this work includes the rotor dynamics and detailed aerodynamic effects. TheautopilotofX5requiresspecialattentionbecauseofunsymmetricalactionofthe big propeller in the yaw plane. Three different autopilots have been developed and simulated based on the simplified mathematical model of X5. Proportional Derivative (PD) controller is the first technique developed for altitude, attitude and position control. The second controller designed is based on Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. The third one is based on Lyapunov control theory. The performances of controllers have been evaluated and compared with simulation based experiments. Furthermore, all the relevant hardware components have been modeled which enable us to perform hardware-in-the-loop experiments. In the final part of this study, the suggested aerial robot, i.e., X5, has been designed physically and it is being constructed to perform real life experiments.

Modeling and simulation of a maneuvering ship
Pakkan, Sinan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
This thesis documents the studies conducted in deriving a mathematical model representing the dynamics of a maneuvering ship to be implemented as part of an interactive real-time simulation system, as well as the details and results of the implementation process itself. Different effects on the dynamics of ship motions are discussed separately, meaning that the effects are considered to be applied to the system one at a time and they are included in the model simply by the principle of superposition. The mo...
Development of an autopilot for automatic landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle
Arıbal, Seçkin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents the design of an autopilot and guidance system for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Classical (PID) and modern control (LQT, Sliding Mode) methods for autonomous navigation and landing in adverse weather conditions are implemented. Two different guidance systems are designed in order to navigate through waypoints during normal and/or emergency flight. The nonlinear Pioneer UAV model is used in controller development and simulations. Aircraft is linearized at different trim points and total a...
Representing temporal knowledge in connectionist expert systems
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (1996-09-27)
This paper introduces a new temporal neural networks model which can be used in connectionist expert systems. Also, a Variation of backpropagation algorithm, called the temporal feedforward backpropagation algorithm is introduced as a method for training the neural network. The algorithm was tested using training examples extracted from a medical expert system. A series of experiments were carried out using the temporal model and the temporal backpropagation algorithm. The experiments indicated that the alg...
Design, fabrication and implementation of a vibration based mems energy scavenger for wireless microsystems
Sarı, İbrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
This thesis study presents the design, simulation, micro fabrication, and testing steps of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based electromagnetic micro power generators. These generators are capable of generating power using already available environmental vibrations, by implementing the electromagnetic induction technique. There are mainly two objectives of the study: (i) to increase the bandwidth of the traditional micro generators and (ii) to improve their efficiency at low frequency environmental v...
Implementation and verification of k-kl turbulence model
Dikbaş, Erdem; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2021-09-08)
In this study, we present the first results of a new turbulence model implementation in our compressible finite volume CFD solver. The k − kL turbulence model is based on the ideas of Rotta’s two-equation model. Various research groups progressively develop the model, and it is maturing rapidly. According to the results presented by others, the k − kL turbulence model provides superior results compared to other two-equation turbulence models. The improved solutions are observed especially in flows with high...
